The Making of a Slicer: Activation of Human Argonaute-1
Argonautes are the central protein component in small RNA silencing pathways. Of the four human Argonautes (hAgo1–hAgo4) only hAgo2 is an active slicer. We determined the structure of hAgo1 bound to endogenous copurified RNAs to 1.75 Å resolution and hAgo1 loaded with let-7 microRNA to 2.1 Å. Both s...
